They save lives---literally. They are excellent and wise companions. I swam with wild dolphins in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico once long ago, and they gave the best dharshan I've ever experienced. a
IIRC Tat Walla Baba had a giant boa constrictor that lived just outside his dwelling in the forest. A dear friend of mine complained about all the animals when she went to TTC in Rishikesh. The monkeys would come into her bungalow and disturb her meditation. That and the crows that perpetually squawked. My kitty cats just sleep on their pillow on the floor or on the window sill when I meditate in my office.
